Hard drive, SSD puncher of physical media with 12 tons of pressure


The device ensures permanent and non-reversible damage to any physical drive, whether mechanical or NAND-based.

Unlike the previously reported HDD/ SSD shredder and DiskMantler, the Puncher P30 pierces four holes through the platters inside 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch mechanical drives. For 2.5-inch SSDs, USB, and SD cards, Ohden Co. Ltd. offers a specific tray attachment with a 5mm pitch that crushes through the entire drive to ensure no NAND is left undamaged. However, the Puncher P30 is designed for businesses or even average users who want to own an in-house and quick solution to destroy storage drives permanently.
